In particular, in 3.3.3 there used to be about 20 border line styles available to the app. In 3.4.3 this choice has been reduced to like 5-7

The frames I use in my documents have a thick border (one of the last available ones in 3.3.3) which simply does not exist any more in 3.4.3. So this is what makes libreoffice to crash uppon loading these docs.

I have 8 border styles in LibreOffice Writer 3.4.1 and 19 in version 3.3.3. No crashing so far, but I get a display issue in the main screen, in all 3.4.x versions, including 3.4.1, 3.4.2 and the latest 3.4.3. The gray background picks up parts of other windows, whether hardware acceleration for graphics output in LO is enabled or not:

I don't have that display issue with the 3.3.3 version currently in Testing.

@Alexk, to me that could be related to Intel driver bugs as I have no display issues with 3.4.3 on an old Radeon 7500 chip using the opensource driver. Perhaps there may be addins for these additional border styles?

For me the problem is libreoffice take ages to open for the first time (that happens since the last upgrade).

The problem that you discribe probably is caused by video card and/or driver (I had similar problems in the past).

Just DU and the problem with the speed that it opens first time, somehow it is solved. I upgraded kernel too.

EDIT. The bottom scroll bar slider doesn't function, too. I am not sure if this was a previous problem or a new one.

@snvv: are you using Intel graphics? I also have the problem with non-functioning bottom scroll bars in some Tools/Options menus in 3.4.x versions. I also had the weird stalling on opening but that seemed to mostly go away with an upgrade as well. I'm currently running testing, installed like this, maybe there's an easier way:
